Kearney's high hopes for Dragons

Tom Kearney joined Wrexham in the summer

Wrexham captain Tom Kearney says his side have "nothing to fear" in the Blue Square Premier after coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Rushden.

Shaun Whalley's 75th-minute leveller made it four points from their opening three games for the Dragons.

"Rushden's a hard place to come to and there are a couple of places where we're going to have to come and grind out results," he said.

"But realistically we should be pushing for promotion."

Wrexham started their season with a thumping 5-0 win over Stevenage before being brought down to earth last Thursday with defeat at York.

But Kearney said: "First and foremost we didn't really battle at York and so we needed to set ourselves up to compete and win our individual battles.

"We're a much better footballing side than we showed at York.

"I think everyone was disappointed with Thursday, so we had a few scores to settle at Rushden.

"Still, looking at it overall, coming to Rushden and getting a draw is not a bad result."
